A Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 research team has taken a page from history, rolled it up and created the 카지노 게임 컬렉션 a rollable touch-screen tablet designed to capture the seamless flexible screen real estate of ancient scrolls in a modern-day device. Led by bendable-screen pioneer Dr. Roel Vertegaal, this new technology is set to push the boundaries of flexible device technology into brand new territory.

The device is comprised of a high-resolution, 7.5카지노 게임 컬렉션 2K resolution flexible display that can be rolled or unrolled around a central, 3D-printed cylindrical body containing the device카지노 게임 컬렉션s computerized inner-workings. Two rotary wheels at either end of the cylinder allow the user to scroll through information on the touch screen. When a user narrows in on an interesting piece of content that they would like to examine more deeply, the display can be unrolled and function as a tablet display. Its light weight and cylindrical body makes it much easier to hold with one hand than an iPad. When rolled up, it fits your pocket and can be used as a phone, dictation device or pointing device.

카지노 게임 컬렉션We were inspired by the design of ancient scrolls because their form allows for a more natural, uninterrupted experience of long visual timelines,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Vertegaal, Professor of Human-Computer Interaction and Director of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 . Another source of inspiration was the old rolodex filing systems that were used to store and browse contact cards. The MagicScroll카지노 게임 컬렉션s scroll wheel allows for infinite scroll action for quick browsing through long lists. Unfolding the scroll is a tangible experience that gives a full screen view of the selected item. Picture browsing through your Instagram timeline, messages or LinkedIn contacts this way!카지노 게임 컬렉션

Beyond the innovative flexible display, the prototype also features a camera that allows users to employ the rolled-up MagicScroll as a gesture-based control device 카지노 게임 컬렉션 similar to that of Nintendo카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노 게임 컬렉션Wiimote카지노 게임 컬렉션. And the device카지노 게임 컬렉션s rotary wheels contain robotic actuators that allow the device to physically move or spin in place in various scenarios, like when it receives a notification for instance.

카지노 게임 컬렉션Eventually, our hope is to design the device so that it can even roll into something as small as a pen that you could carry in your shirt pocket,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Dr. Vertegaal. 카지노 게임 컬렉션More broadly, the MagicScroll project is also allowing us to further examine notions that 카지노 게임 컬렉션screens don카지노 게임 컬렉션t have to be flat카지노 게임 컬렉션 and 카지노 게임 컬렉션anything can become a screen카지노 게임 컬렉션. Whether it카지노 게임 컬렉션s a reusable cup made of an interactive screen on which you can select your order before arriving at a coffee-filling kiosk, or a display on your clothes, we카지노 게임 컬렉션re exploring how objects can become the apps.

Dr. Vertegaal카지노 게임 컬렉션s Human Media Lab collaborator Juan Pablo Carrascal presented MagicScroll at , one of the leading international conferences on Human-Computer Interaction with mobile devices and services, in Barcelona, Spain on September 4, 2018.
